A Nightmare Lit by a Dying Star

New age shaped by information<br/> A gamble with civilization<br/> Instant answers within reach<br/> Unimaginable knowledge, a cure for ignorance<br/> We‘ve bet everything on a false premise<br/> That ignorance is the root of our evil<br/> <br/> The age of information<br/> satisfies our voyeuristic nature<br/> We delight in witnessing violence<br/> And fabricate our narcissistic effigies<br/> <br/> Oversaturated instincts<br/> Bring out our inherent evil<br/> Arrogance, ignorance, depravity<br/> Shameless immolation of humility<br/> <br/> As we drown in the man-engineered maelstrom of words<br/> one thing becomes obvious.<br/> We have constructed a reality so intricate<br/> We question everything<br/> We won’t see our doom coming<br/> <br/> The apocalypse is slow and boring<br/> Serve your sentence in the prison of your mind,<br/> desensitized, drenched in blood, sex and comfort<br/> <br/> First, we sacrifice our humanity,<br/> one step at a time,<br/> and no one will fight our ending…<br/> We‘ll watch the world burn indifferently<br/> <br/> I invoke doom<br/> Decline in abhorrence<br/> <br/> Antagonistic algorithms, industrial scale alienation, manufactured fear<br/> Convenience tax is rising, debt of consciousness collapsing<br/> future is canceled until further notice<br/> Attention economics, identity markets, desperate competition<br/> Dehumanized anthropomorphic aberrations<br/> <br/> Let’s sacrifice another generation<br/> Face once again the surprising revelation<br/> <br/> We have long crossed the point of no return<br/> We have trampled our hope for happiness<br/> while chasing dominance

So many days<br/> In so many years<br/> In baseline despair<br/> We dwell, collectively insane<br/> <br/> We were brought into this world as spectators<br/> Naive and unaware, we are being lied to<br/> In time we learn to lie to ourselves<br/> What stays sincere is left unspoken<br/> <br/> I… I am cold and I am afraid…<br/> Of the emotional nuclear winter<br/> we build for ourselves, a prison of fear.<br/> <br/> For I have seen the beauty in mankind<br/> Step away from grace, step away from obliteration<br/> as the birds fall from the scorching skies<br/> Searing air fills my lungs<br/> <br/> As I choke on dust<br/> I watch my beloved ones<br/> toil to fix what they didn’t break<br/> Lifelong struggle spent in shame<br/> <br/> Cast by those unwilling to act<br/> yet eager to suffer under the<br/> collective guilt searing our skin<br/> <br/> I… I am cold and I am afraid…<br/> That my life is just a dead weight,<br/> a burden to a dying world<br/> <br/> NO ONE WILL MOURN<br/> <br/> No one will be left to mourn the carcass of this world<br/> Its bones bare and broken<br/> Even the tallest monument of concrete will turn to a desert<br/> our legacy forfeit<br/> <br/> Until that happens<br/> We’re eager to suffer<br/> In guilt we‘re indebted<br/> and so will be our children<br/> <br/> I’ve seen mankind’s beauty<br/> and wanted to follow it<br/> it led me to insanity<br/> I now see all around me
